    Hello,

    I think it is transmission oil that is located under the front of the van on
    the driver's side.
    I have 66 000km and never replaced the transmission oil since the van was
    new.

    Is it the cause that the box located where I said is leaking, like it is all
    wet of oil, but not
    really leaking like a lot. Just a small drop of oil on my garage.

    It is fustrating, now that my van is not under warranty any more (+60 000km)


    Thanks.

    These minivans have a history of oil leakage due to bad head gasket. If you
    have the 2.4L engine, look at the back of the engine (driver side) and feel
    if it is oily. If yes, you have a head gasket leak and it will drip oil very
    slowly.

    Tranny fluid is red in color, so to determine if it is engine oil or tranny
    fluid, place a plastic sheet under the van overnight and check??

    I had a bad experience with my 2000 Caravan, Turn out to be the loose hose
    clamps on the transmission cooler on the radiator.
    SOB to get at. Seems it's quite common.

    The solenoid box on the front of the transmission is a very common leak
    source.
